Is there a way to set the default youtube video setting to HQ or preferably HD? I'm guessing it is set low to reduce the amount of bandwidth required to stream in HD.

How do I set HQ videos to be the default videos? Right now, if I want to watch the videos in decent quality, I have to click on a video then press Menu, More and then Watch in HQ (hassle!)
Also, why can't I watch Vevo videos???
(p.s not sure whether this issue is unique to Desire but since I am using Desire, I thought it would be somewhat appropriate to post here since some of you might know how to solve this)
im guessing you already looked for settings of it somewhere in the app?
if theres no settins then i reckon it depends on the connection quality, but wait for a confirmation from users who actually have the phone

Yeah I checked Setting but there is no option to set the default video quality to HQ
And it's not really about the connection quality I think coz I do have the option to "watch in HQ" and the buffering time is not that different. I tried using Wi-fi as well and still, the videos are not in HQ by default
Is Youtube the best place to play music videos? Is there any other app which can play music videos faster (by not using the wireless)?
Does anyone know how to force inline YouTube videos in the stock browser to open in the YouTube app instead of flash?
I hate the full screen flash view of YouTube. Everything is tiny and a little laggy.
If the YouTube video has a YouTube icon on the lower right of the video (some don't), then you can click on that and it will take you to the YouTube app.

thanks but I tried a bunch of webpages and none have that youtube icon. I've seen it before so I now what you are talking about.
example: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/2/2916098/htc-one-s-review
It's surprising to me that using the stock browser to watch a google-owned youtube video in full screen results in such a disaster: it's virtually impossible to tap the button you want.
Try going to apps>browser>clear defaults then navigate to a video
in the browser. Does it let you choose a default for videos then? Only guess I have...

I still get that menu when I click on a youtube link. The problem is with the inline players that show up with flash.
No solution to this?
I having an issue trying to play a movie or video when a 2nd display (720p TV) is connected to the Windows RT. I've tried all kinds of video formats, players, even YouTube videos won't play. The general error message is "cannot play video". Oh, my Windows RT is stock. Any help is appreciated.

I know that Windows apps don't support 720p. Must be higher. Could be related to this.
I have found opening a app and playing a video before plugging in a second screen works, but the image won't fully fit on the second screen.

That's kinda what I thought, as it's a 720p plasma TV This has to be a bug, which I hope they resolve.

It not a bug. But Microsoft did not allow metro app running at 720p. I think minimum resolution is 1024x768.

you must have a 768 pixel high display to run metro apps. A 720p display is of course 720 pixels high. However, some (but not all) 720p TV's actually have a native res of 1366*768 or 1360*768 and then scale 720p content to fit (and a few go the other way of being able to scale 1366*768 to fit their native 720p), check in the screen resolution settings if you can output to either of these resolutions on your TV from your tablet.

The TV supports 1366x768, and the Surface RT will display on it an an extended screen or duplicate, but when I try and play movies using an app it won't work at all with the TV connected.

You can't watch 4K video on YT in mobile. Only 2K option is available in the newest version.

YouTube doesn't even support 4k but there is a new update in which you can view videos in 1440p if the video is even uploaded in that high of a resolution.

You have to update the YouTube app either through the play store or manually.

Videos should be able to be viewed if they are available in 1440p or higher, just look up "4k video" and it should output after setting.
If it doesn't output, what version of YouTube do you have? Can be viewed under the Apps section in settings.

The official youtube application for android doesnt support resolution higher than 720p. Either install the application Viral Popup (youtube player) for a resolution up to 1080p or view the video from within a suitable browser. I ve heard that the lg g3 supports flash playback. If your browser can not play flash content then install the hacked version of flash player and the dolphin browser and you re set.

This is completely false. The official YT app will support up to 2k on compatible phones with 2k screens.
The official youtube app supports up to 1440p on the G3 and has done for nearly 2 months now, I use it all the time.
OP, I am not sure why you are not seeing it, have you tried to remove youtube (if system app "uninstall updates), wipe cache and data, reboot then reinstall and see if it works then.

Ah this is strange. I have been able to watch 1440 videos on my G3 the last time I checked. Maybe it has something to do with your regional settings. Where are you located?

Actually you are completely correct. I just tried to watch a few vids and I only get 720 for most or rarely 1080 (try the transformers trailer for 1080). Not sure what they did but maybe it is is a sort of content lock and they have stopped it being available on mobile devices. Either that or someone commented out a few lines of essential code!
easy
I got the 1440p optoin working on mine. Its very easy to do.
Stop the youtube app clear every thing delete it reboot. Now youtube 5.5 is back on the phone stop the app clear everything.
Now install youtube 5.9 akp you can download it everywhere search on google. After installing 5.9 reboot again
Nou go to playstore setting end disable autoupdate so that youtube will not be updated to 5.10
For me this worked perfect. Ps i just got the phone yesterday but im a quick learner.

Thanks but you can also just go to the app info and press uninstall updates. I imagine then you would not need to look for the 5.9 YouTube app which someone could have injected something nasty into if you got it from the wrong place. This method applies to all apps. I'm not really bothered if I can't watch 4k on my mobile as I don't use it for that myself so I don't mind waiting for when they update it again..if they do add the option again that is!
2k not 4k

Its a bug in the YouTube app. I have watched 2k (1440p) videos before via the app, but its only showing HD (720p) now. If you downgrade the app to a version before the update the 2k will work.
